About Lacey

How Lacey’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and build a respectful, genuine relationship that supports change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Sessions often include clear, simple tools to test unhelpful thinking, adjust behaviors, and build coping skills for anxiety, sleep, or mood concerns.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that can help process distressing memories. When used, it is combined with other supports and paced to each person’s needs.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you will check what helps and adjust the plan over time so work stays practical and relevant.
Confirm available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about how sessions are scheduled and what to expect so therapy fits into everyday life.
